Family Memories and Other Information
1. Matilda Caroline "Tillie" ECKROAT
From Matilda ECKROAT STURBAUM'S 1954 letter to cousin Fern ECKROAT (Peter's son Carl's wife): ...as far as my life, I wouldn't know where to start to tell you, it would be so long and such a mixture and such a hard life. I probably could talk to you better for that part, but I have it so much better in later years. When I was younger we lived the hard way and not much to do with now they have everything to do with and then some growl and want it better.
From Barbara ECKROAT WILD: Aunt Tillie visited often [in Bremerton, WA] and especially when Dad was ill. She helped with the cooking, sewing, and would watch Val when I was at college.
Interesting note:
Tillie and Peter STURBAUM were "1st cousins once removed." Peter's father, Henry STURBAUM, was the brother of Tillie's Grandmother, Frances STURBAUM WINKAMP. See STURBAUM Family Page
